The Very Hungry Caterpillarby Eric Carle is a timeless story of how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. This global bestseller is a time-honored story promoting the joys of playful learning through colorful illustrations. Carle’s ingeniously layered pages inspire children to learn about shapes, colors, days of the week, and the wondrous process of metamorphosis.
Barnes & Noble’s partner for this event, Mudpuppy, developed the “Very Hungry Caterpillar Color-In Crown” featuring distinctive illustrations and the beloved characters from his works. Children participating will learn, color, share and take home their custom-created crowns after enjoying treats from the Café.
